Masters in Financial Economics

Starting this Fall, the Faculty of Business & Management will be offering a master’s degree in Financial Economics designed for Economics and Business graduates with a Finance concentration.

The program, says the chairperson of the Economics program Dr. Gretta Saab, is “very challenging” and in line with programs offered at the best universities in the world. “The key objective of the program,” adds Dr. Saab, is to provide students with a broad understanding of financial theory and the economics framework upon which that theory is based.

“Our students continue to do very well in topnotch universities in the UK,” said Dr. Saab, “so we thought that this was the right time for us to start our own program.”

The MFE will prepare students to enter the business world in the financial, and economics sectors, or to pursue relevant professional certifications or their academic studies further, said Dr. Saab.
